RX 5700-XT High Clock Speed With Down Spikes

[IndioBravo]

Hi everyone,

 

While playing RDR2, I have a sort of horizontal core clock graph. But sometimes, like seen on image, it downclocks briefly. I can also feel the stutter ingame when this happens.

 

I don´t think it is the CPUs or GPUs fault. Since CPU temp is 71C and GPU is max 84C.

 

What else could be causing this?

 

 

Thanks for the help!

 

My specs:

 

MOBO: Gaming Plus B450

CPU: Ryzen 5 2600x

CPU Cooler: Hyper 212

GPU: Sapphire Pulse RX 5700XT

Monitor: Asus mg28uq

Case: Cooler Master MasterBox Lite 5 (3 intake 1 exhuast)

RAM: Corsair Vengeance 2x8 @3000Mhz

SSD1 (OS): Samsung EVO 500GB

SSD2: Kingstone SSDnow 120GB

HDD1: WD 3TB green

PSU: Corsair RM650x

I found some more information. On task manager, you can see how when this spike occurs, there is a drop in VRAM usage also, along with a tiny spike on Copy.

It may be the game itself, RDR2 have some problems

Check other games to see if the problem is insistent. RDR2 is badly optimization and all of the fixes so far just made people even more angry. There's a reason why it got mostly negative when it was first released on Steam.

Yes, I get this same behavior in GTA V. Happens mostly in games where the GPU is at 100% because of ultra settings. On the other hand, on low usage GPU games it does the same thing, but instead of going from 2000MHz to 6MHz, it goes down from a lower value.
